Hello,
I just came back to Japan and I am currently not signed up with any cellular provider yet. (Also I DO NOT have old cellphone sim...)
I REALLY want to get HTC OneX in Japan... Sim Free 32GB International version with Tegra 3.
HTC-S720e-32GB
My question is when I went to Docomo they told me that they will only let me use it if they will find some sort of a stamp... which means that it has been cleared to used in Japan...
Has anybody just bought HTC One X International version in Japan and got signed with a cellular provider without problems?
I know if I had a sim I could probably cut it, but I want to know if I could just go to Docomo and get a micro Sim from them and use it normally...
Has anybody tested this on Docomo or any other provider in Japan?
Please let me know, I've been drooling for this phone and I'm afraid that I will be unable to use it if I buy it... /:
Also I don't understand this whole business with APN stuff...
//
So basically my question is can I just go with that sim free HTC one X to any provider in Japan and get my Sim... put it in and just enjoy my phone... or they are going to refuse to give me the sim?

Hi there
I live in the UK and have an HTC Desire which has been baked and it's just the way I like it. It was bought on a T-Mobile contract and is locked to T-Mobile.
I am travelling to the USA and want to put a USA T-mobile sim card in it.
The last time I was in the USA I took my Nokia N95 over which was locked to T-Mobile UK but it wouldn't work over there with a USA T-Mobile sim card.
What will I have to do to get it working over in America? Is it just getting the phone unlocked in my local market in the UK?
I don't want to be empty handed in the USA. I love my Desore too much to leave it in the suitcase!!!!
Any advise is grateful
Adrian
The phone is locked to simcards from t mobile UK, hence why you couldn't use a t mobile US simcard.
You can unlock the desire for about £10 with a code from ebay, no cables or mods required, simply put in the code when you first try to use the other sim card. You may find you only get 2g coverage in the US as I think the euro Desire only works with 2g networks in the US.

I bought an HTC Desire HD recently from the UK and it was sim free.
I live in Japan and I am a regular Softbank user with a different phone currently. I went to the softbank store today to get my old sim card changed over to the smart phone sim card, the guy said it would cost $25 to change to the smart phone sim.
But when he put it in to test it didnt get any network connection at all in my new Desire HD.
He did a check on the phone and he said it was because the phone is not from in Japan and that the Japanese sim cards at softbank are locked.
Is there any way to get my new UK Desire HD to work on Softbank Japan?
Can someone please help? Thank you.
The phone is already rooted and has Radio-off and S-off done. Don't know if that helps.
Anybody have any insite?
Please.
Hi samusx.
did you manage to get it to work?
I'm going to japan in a few weeks, and would like to use my dhd with a softbank SIM.
I had the same problem with my SE X10 before, but I thought it was something else.
I can't imagine a provider locking their sim cards to their phone? Is that even possible?

Hi,
Can anyone tel-me what are the diferent Versions for the Note 2?
I have friends in the USA and the UK who can buy me one, but need to now if it works in Portugal.
Thanks for your help
Try Google Search
There are 2 versions of the phone
The 4G LTE one which only works and used in the U.S and they are locked aswell , so you cannot use your sim card in Portugal unless you unlock the phone(pain in the ass..)
There is the international one which works every where in the world (Unlocked) They use these in the UK aswell,
So if your going to get the phone get it from your friend from the UK
Hey guys, my cousin has an HTC One X he doesn't use so I want to buy it.
On the back, it says HTC One X UKR and some letters in Russia. He uses it in Croatia. I've put an american SIM card and it doesnt tell me "invalid sim." It actually even shows some sort of message from the american carrier. It shows no signal, but doesn't reject the sim...
1) Does that mean this phone is unlocked to be usable anywhere?
2) Is there some antennae difference that would make this One X not be able to be used in USA?
thanks.
If I buy a i buy the atnt one m8 is it possible for me to unlock it and use another SIM card ?
Would there be any issues ?
BTW I stay in India .... I already own the one m8 but I wanted to gift one to my sister too..... So I was wondering if it was psossible for me to get the one from the black Friday sale on amazon
You will have to buy an unlock code from eBay and make sure it supports at&t m8 and the unlocker will give you the code if your not in the USA
